Canadian Solar subsidiary Recurrent Energy has started operations at the 134-megawatt Liberty solar project near Houston, the parent company said Oct. 31.
Located in Liberty County northeast of Houston, the solar farm will produce enough electricity to power about 15,000 homes annually and will expand energy capacity in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) market, Canadian Solar said.
“We are thrilled to complete this project on time and on budget in support of the renewable energy goals of our customers,” Recurrent Energy CEO Ismael Guerrero said.
Customers include Autodesk Inc., Biogen Inc., EMD Electronics and Wayfair Inc.
Rabobank, Nord LB and U.S. Bank subsidiary U.S. Bancorp Impact Finance provided the construction loan for the project, according to the release. U.S. Bancorp Impact Finance is also providing $80 million in tax equity for the project.
